The current limitations of BK mean that we will not be able to take
changesets directly from the linuxppc-2.5 tree and send them to
Linus.

You can export changes as a patch and import them.

Which still isn't directly. :)  It will catch most of the problems, but
if you export a patch with new files from one tree, import into another
and pull back into the original, you have a file conflict, yes?

Yes, but that's not what we are talking about.  We're talking about
export/import from two "unrelated" BK trees.  You can't pull unrelated
trees at all.

These are related trees.  For 2.5.x all of the PPC trees are related to
the official Linus 2.5.x bk tree.  Something like:
linux-2.5 -> {for-linus-*, linuxppc-2.5}.
Since linuxppc-2.5 and for-linus-ppc are both children of linux-2.5,
shouldn't they be related?
